Chapter 444: Zhennanguan

  Chapter 444 Zhennan Pass

  Guangyuan Prefecture is in the upper reaches of Chongzuo and belongs to the source area of ​​Zuoxi River, while Shuikou Village is in the middle reaches of Zuoxi River and lower reaches of Chongzuo. However, the two villages have been married for several generations, and the relationship has always been excellent.

  The largest industry of the Nong’s family in Guangyuan Prefecture is gold mining. The Nong’s family is mainly engaged in gold mining and smelting, which requires more manpower than barbarians in Chengzhou and other places. The Huang family in Shuikou occupies the middle reaches of the Zuojiang River, and they have always been bandits and bandits in the Zuojiang River. Their main industry is plundering, robbing boats on the Zuojiang River, robbing villages in the mountains, robbing money and people, and operating slave trade.

Therefore, the Huang family and the Nong family have been married for several generations. The Nong family is interested in the slave business of the Huang family, and needs to buy slaves from the Huang family to mine mines. Sell ​​it to the Huang family for a good price. Furthermore, the two families are already far away from each other, so there will be no conflict of interest. Therefore, the two families have been married for several generations and have a very good relationship.

  Nongford often went to Shuikou, mainly to buy slaves, and sometimes he would personally lead a team to participate in the robbery of the Huang family. Anyway, he would sit on the ground and share the spoils.

   I just didn't expect that this time a few official ships were robbed, but the consequences were so serious.

  Chong Zuoman Wang Zhaili.

  Qin Lang asked for Shangfang Sword, and beheaded Nongfuduo, the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, whom he personally appointed, with a single blow, blood spattering everywhere.

   Fusan got close, several drops of warm blood splashed on his face.

   With this sword strike, the other seventeen governors in Zhen's hall all turned pale.

   And Qin Lang wiped the blood on the sword calmly after killing someone.

   "Nongfude should be killed, and the truth will not be killed."

"Nongfude is dead, and the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture is absent. Now I will give you a benefit from the truth. All governors can send troops to Guangyuan Prefecture to clean up these rebels for the court. After the suppression of Xidong in Guangyuan Prefecture, who will If the family is the first to defeat the owner of the Nong family, then the truth will be given to the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, and the land of Guangyuan Prefecture will belong to him."

"Of course, even if the other families failed to be the first to attack Zhudong, the truth will not forget their meritorious deeds. Half of the people, property, and livestock that captured Xidong belonged to him, and the other half was handed over to the court. "

"how?"

  Qin Lang held the sword in his hand, and looked around the barbarians.

  Some savages are frightened, and some savages are moved.

Although Guangyuan Prefecture is newly established, it has always been the territory of the Nong family. Their family is famous for mining gold. Before Nong Fude went to Yongzhou to meet Qin Lang, he presented a piece of raw gold weighing one hundred and twelve taels. Gold, that is, bull head gold.

   Who can not be jealous of the gold of the Nong family.

  The Nong family has always been rich and powerful, because they have many gold mines.

  The Nong family has a lot of gold, a lot of slaves, a large population, and a large territory.

  The Nong family is much stronger than the Shuikou Village. There are more than 10,000 people in the Nong family, known as the Jinlong Village.

  If he can break into the Jinlong Zhuzhai of Nong’s family and win his family’s village, that would be a big deal.

  Qin Lang called on seventeen governors to join forces with the Nong family, and promised that whoever was the first to break through the main village would get the territory of Guangyuan Prefecture.

  The governor can choose one of his brothers or nephews, and Qin Lang will grant him the title of governor of Guangyuan Prefecture to take over the territory.

  One family becomes two families.

   This temptation, even Fusan couldn't help but move his heart.

  Qin Lang didn't plan to send troops, Nongfude was beheaded by him himself, and the rest was left to the barbarians, and he was behind.

  But after capturing the Xidong of Nong’s family, he may not want the land, but he wants half of the population and money, which is handed over to the emperor, and the barbarian kings are not easy to object.

  In short, this time Qin Lang took the lead to incite the barbarians in Zuoxi to besiege and carve up Guangyuan Nong's family together.

   Fusan felt that this was too cruel. The Huang family in Shuikou was gone, and if another Guangyuan Nong’s family was to be wiped out, who would be wiped out next time?

   Can't stand the greedy hearts of other barbarian kings.

  In the end, the barbarians couldn't hold back their greed and decided to unite to destroy the Nong family. Who made him dare to rob, kill and sell court officials?

  Qin Lang didn't manage Guangyuan, but he proposed a new plan for Shuikou Village which had been wiped out.

"In view of the fact that Zuoxi is not very peaceful now, and now there are timbers needed to build the Daming Palace on the river, it is decided to rebuild Shuikou Village, change Shuikou to Yongkang County, and place it under the jurisdiction of Zuozhou as Zhengxian County. Xiaoxidong, which is within the sphere of influence of the surrounding Yuanshuikou, is also included in Yongkang County."

  Establish Yongkang County, and will build post stations, military towns, and garrisons.

  Qin Lang’s reasons were to protect the Zuoxi waterway, protect the timber of the Daming Palace, strengthen the connection between the imperial court and the Xidong prefectures in Zuoxi, etc., and even protect the trade routes.

  The barbarians knew that this reason was far-fetched, but they couldn't refute it at this time.

So logically, Qin Lang established the first Zhengxian County in Zuoxi, which was named Zuozhou and was actually managed by Yongzhou. Inserted the first nail.

"Shuikou Village used to be a large village, and there are many streams around it that are also attached to the Huang family. In the past, they often followed the Huang family to do evil. This time, the truth is not going to let them go, so let's clean them up. You guys If you want, I can hand over this task to you, as is the old rule, after breaking through the creek, the land will belong to you, half of the people, money, silk and livestock will be waiting for you, and half of the court will be waiting for you."

   After some discussion, the barbarian kings each withdrew.

  Qin Lang occupied Fusan's barbarian mansion to rest, surrounded by dental soldiers and pro-army, and Fusan simply moved to live in another place.

  All the barbarian kings returned to their own Xidong to recruit troops, and went to Guangyuan and Shuikou to grab land and people.

  In the past, the barbarians often broke out some battles, but there were very few such large-scale struggles. All the dongs united to destroy two dongs.

  This is an unprecedented change.

  Some people are worried, while others are excited.

   "Are we waiting here for Zuoximan's results?" Qin Yong asked.

   "Don't wait, take a rest for two days, and then we will continue to go south to Wu'an Prefecture."

Breaking through Shuikou Village and attacking Guangyuan Prefecture was actually just for the sake of establishing prestige. Zuoxi was more barbaric and backward. Lang had to make a strong statement and put it into action, otherwise, Qin Lang's words would not have any prestige here in the future.

  For Shuikou Village, Qin Lang sent troops without saying a word, and even used the secret weapon Zhentianlei, in order to be able to quickly destroy them and achieve a deterrent effect as quickly as possible.

  As for Guangyuan Nong’s family, firstly, it’s still far away, secondly, they are stronger, and moreover, many barbarian kings are a little afraid of Qin Lang’s ruthlessness and even have other ideas, so Qin Lang needs to change his tactics.

  Beheaded Nongfud, and then let the barbarians bite and fight for it. The barbarians have always been barbaric, so when the piece of fat from the Nong family was thrown out, they immediately had no other hesitation and only wanted to eat meat.

  As long as the barbarians work together to destroy the Nong family, there will be one less force against the court, and with this action, the relationship between those barbarians who have benefited and Qin Lang and the court will be further improved.

   "Can the barbarians break through Jinlongdong?"

"Why not? Use barbarism to control barbarism. For the barbarians, the danger of the Nong family's creek is nothing. The barbarians are used to the climate and geography here, and they don't have any problems with acclimatization. , I don’t know how many times stronger it is than us going to attack.”

   As for how long the fight will take, Qin Lang doesn't care at all.

  Although he asked for half of the proceeds, he was not in a hurry to get the proceeds sooner or later. In fact, he hoped that this battle would be fought more often, so that the division among the barbarians would deepen.

  When a pack of wolves fights, there will be death and injury. For those who sit on the mountain and watch the battle, it is always the best result.

  Qin Lang put away his smile.

"The barbarians here are indeed too courageous. Huang Tianhu and Nong Fude are not special cases. Most of the barbarians are like this. In their eyes, there is no court and no emperor, so we are here, representing the court and the emperor. , You must show your strength, be strong, be tough, be ruthless!"

  So, even if Nongfude had just presented him a piece of rare raw gold weighing one hundred and twelve taels in Yongzhou not long ago, this still couldn't stop Qin Lang's determination to make a move against him.

  No matter how rare the bull head gold of more than one hundred taels is, it is worth at most ten times the weight of gold, that is, more than one thousand taels of gold, but compared to the prestige of the imperial court in Lingnan and Zuoxi, that little gold is not worth mentioning.

  Take advantage of the opportunity to rest.

  Qin Lang also launched regiments to train rural soldiers in Zuozhou, with a battalion of 800 in each state, a regiment of 200 in each county, and a regiment of 50 in each township. He asked all the barbarian kings to organize and train the native soldiers according to this. All the barbarian kings should prepare their own weapons, choose their strength, and train them regularly.

  And these township soldiers have to undertake the task of rotation. In addition to guarding the prefectures and counties, they also need to accept the transfer of the imperial court. In Guangxi Road, they go to guard post stations, official roads, Fengbao, military towns, etc. in rotation.

  The barbarian kings are not very interested in this, and Qin Lang doesn't care either. Things are going to be done step by step, and food needs to be eaten at a bite. This village soldier plan can be done slowly. This is a long-term layout.

   After staying in Chongzuo for three days, Qin Lang continued to go south.

  In his team, many ships were added. The ships were full of barbarians captured after breaking through the water mouth. These barbarians who used to like to plunder them and sell others as slaves have now become Qin Lang's slaves.

  All of them will be taken by him to Wu'an Prefecture to be exiled as slaves, to reclaim wasteland and mine there.

  Cross Chongzuo, continue to go up the river along Zuoxi River.

  The river began to narrow. After arriving in Longzhou, there were many dangerous shoals, and many sections of the river had to be crossed by people getting off the boat and pulling the boat on their backs.

   After arriving at Qiyuan Prefecture, turn south and enter the southern tributary of Zuoxi River. After entering Shixi Prefecture, it is no longer possible to sail.

  All ships had to stop, and all the people, horses and cargo on board disembarked.

   "Mr. Wei, the gateway to Jiaozhou is just ahead. That mountain is Lang Son. This place is very dangerous, and it is also the only way to Jiaozhou."

  Qin Lang took out the cover picture and looked at it.

   "The other side of the mountain is my fief of Wu'an Prefecture, right?"

   "Exactly! After passing this mountain, all the way to the Taiping River, within a few hundred miles, is the fief of Duke Wei's Wu'an Prefecture!"

   "Can the mountain pass ahead be closed to the city?"

   "Yes, there is a gate guarding the pass."

The gate seems to be Zhennan Pass, where a general surnamed Feng defeated the French in later generations, but it was later changed to Friendship Pass. We once came out of this pass to help the opposite side, but later these people took us aid hit us.

   "The name of the gate is not majestic enough. If you change the name, just change it to Zhennanguan. This pass will town my Great Tang South Gate!"

   "The name Sanlang is domineering. Zhennanguan sounds much better than Menguan." Everyone praised.

  Qin Lang laughed loudly, "Today, I'm going to cross Zhennan Pass, and tonight, I'm going to sleep in Wu'an Prefecture!"
